But Ashley James showed no sign of any insecurities as she hit the pool in Marbella with a friend, soaking up the sunshine in an array of skimpy swimwear.

The one-time Made In Chelsea star, 29, looked amazing in a leopard print two-piece, emphasising her ample cleavage and perfectly flat stomach.

Ashley tuned heads as she emerged from the water, displaying her enviable curves in all their glory.

She later changed into a baby blue bikini, which further accentuated her hourglass physique as she relaxed in style by the poolside.

Accompanied by a pal, Ashley made a splash under the waterfall as she frolicked around on a giant inflatable swan.

Ashley recently revealed to MailOnline that her full bust had once been the source of her own insecurity.

'When I was 15 my mum and I went for a consultation about a breast reduction just because I hated [my breasts],' she revealed.

'But at the moment I don't think I would have cosmetic surgery... but I totally understand why people would. Each to their own.'

Ashley only got as far as having a consultation but she now reveals that she felt she was being sexualised by her peers and even her teachers for her natural body shape.

Ashley previously suffered from body dysmorphia and explained that she thinks the condition stemmed from the constant attention: 'I think a lot of it comes from having big boobs.

'I think there's a lot of judgement and sexualisation around boobs - but it's not like I've bought them - they're part of my body!' she continued.

'I tried to dress a lot frumpier and older than I was to avoid comments from boys and teachers even.'

She continued: 'I think there's a lot of judgement and sexualisation around boobs - but it's not like I've bought them - they're part of my body!'

She added that she is still held back by her ample bosom now, as she revealed: 'Just yesterday a brand wouldn't use an image as it was "too sexual" - but it wasn't, my cleavage was just on show!'

The former Made In Chelsea star revealed she has learnt to control her body dysmorphia, but admitted she was concerned about the messages some designers could be sending out.

Discussing the controversial use of super slim models on the catwalk, Ashley said: 'If I were to see girls who quite clearly have an eating disorder on the catwalk then that would make me really sad.

'It's really disappointing that fashion houses can be that irresponsible because it's giving out a specific message but so unhealthy. No one should need to be skinny to work.'
